The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane. ~ Marcus Aurelius“It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words.”

It's high time to change the name of this party. They're certainly no Republicans anymore. I've seen Trumpicans, Trumpanzees, Trumpster Fires. Whatever this new party is, it's not coalesced around shared values as much as it is a worship of one charismatic man.There was a time when conservatives supported limited government, balanced budgets and less debt. Not so long ago, conservatives also championed free trade, lower tariffs and the spread of democratic institutions across Europe and the world. And yes, conservatives spent the past generation championing an American exceptionalism with values casting our great country as a city shining brightly on a hill for all the world to see.
…
Trump’s obsession with wall-building and zero-tolerance has led Americans to this grim political spectacle. His personal cruelty and political ignorance have created a crisis that will kill conservative immigration reform and lead to future Democratic majorities. More troubling is the harsh reality now staring Americans in the face: Their president is a brutish political boss who has cheapened conservatism, sullied the office of the presidency and called into question the very character of a country once seen as the envy of the world. That so many Republicans still support this depraved man and his malignant movement could be the most damning element of this tragic American tale.

The good news I was referring to is that the deplorable boomers are dying off and being replaced by younger generations that won't have the same fear of demographic change. Soon you deplorables will be relegated to the sidelines or weasel your way into a new political position by renouncing your past support of trumps Nativism. However it happens, things are changing. You can't stop it and our country will be stronger for it.
